[Video] Beyonce & Jay-z Booed At MET Gala

The Costume Institute Gala honoring the late designer Alexander McQueen brought out the fierceness in all of our favorite celebrities, but a noted surprise to many was when Beyonce and Jay-z were booed on the red carpet.

Everything seemed fine as the couple (who rarely walk red carpets together), stepped out for photos, however, after Beyonce had great difficulty getting up the steps in her cinched Emilio Pucci dress, she decided not to stop for anymore photos. The remaining press felt snubbed and began booing the couple loudly.

Check out the video of the couple getting booed and more photos below:

202 People Bitching

We know. it wasn’t that serious for them to boo her. But Beyonce , you are killing me w/ these mermaid dresses. I know your curvy ,but wear something less restricting. Between the heels (while excersing and strolling. really?) its just too much

I just watched the vid and they want her to pose while she’s struggling up the stairs. Please, that was just not going to happen because I think she felt a little ridiculous. Although, she should have just laughed at her self and had fun with it, which I kind of think she did.

beyonce it’s okay to be yourself sometimes …smh…
she gotta fight her insecurity thats what it is…and yes she does have some, if not she wouldnt have the need to wear something so tight she can barely walk

No they wanted her to pose for pics on that side of the red carpet as she had done on the other side. They have to get their pics too! I think its funny that they bood her. Everyone usual kisses her tail along with the devil worshipping husband Gay-z.

Her whole life is about restrictions besides the comfort of her home she choses to never allows herself to be herself

she looks uncomfortable

I Heart LUPE Reply:May 3rd, 2011 at 9:52 pm

That dress looks super uncomfortable

+2 bluepeas Reply:May 4th, 2011 at 11:10 pm

She didnt have a problem walking ppl, nor did it look like
she had a problem sitting w/ her knees closed.
The problem wasnt so much that the dress was way to tight.
It’s snug at the knees leaving no space for females who wear
fish-tail gowns to ‘part their knees’ then lift their legs,
obviously. And, clearly they arent designed to be form-fitting
so that a female could sashay “up” 100 steps. That’s why
the gown is named after creatures that SWIM, not walk! And
why would they have so many stairs when women would be dressed
formal & in stilettos? That was crazy

“And

LMAO!!
“I’m sorry that the Metropolitan MUSEUM (isnt that where this was held?) did not demolish it’s stairs so that Beyonce could wear a restrictive dress.
REALLY??

Why wouldn’t a person who is intent on wearing such a dress get venue information first???

+43 Trisha Reply:May 3rd, 2011 at 11:57 am

She stays wearing the mermaid cut dresses. Beyonce usually
plays it safe when it comes to the style, cut of her dress
& her hair styles lol

I liked the dress, But i wouldn’t wear a dress I couldn’t walk
in. Shit, what if there was an emergency & you had to run lmao

Oh Bey, you should of done some practice runs in the loft lol. I always test run “iffy” outfits around my home before I depart lol #imlame. On another note NB brings out the most bitter ladies and men I have EVER came in contact with (thank God I only encounter them by this blog an not in my everyday life) No matter what the celeb or subject is some extra and negative shit is ALWAYS being said whether its about the celeb personally, what they look like, how they walk, how they talk etc.. Knowing if someone scrutinized you, every time you left your home you’d never leave again! if this is the comment section you could of fooled me. More like “Bitch my life aint fabulous so let me hate on the next person” section. Sorry about the rant I’m just tired of bitter ass people on EVERY celebrities comment section.

I really like her dress, but come on now ma, a dress you can’t walk in really ? It’s also good to know that those ” when I roll ups” (naps) on Jay head, can still look nice with a lil shine & brushing, picking whatever. He looks nice & shockingly by the head as well !

I think she does care and it’s hard to tell if they were booing her dress or if her over exposure is really making people not like her. Bey doesn’t seem to have control over her STANS who hype her up to be the next MJ when no one will ever be and her new music is bizarre. Furthermore, I know that she is a business woman but over exposure can kill your career especially when people are not buying what your are selling… that wig in her Loreal commercials…ummm yeah.

Please steps had nothIng to do with it she could have stopped for just 2 seconds to take a pic. If she were really appreciative of her fame she would have stopped right in front of them to show thanks where there were no steps but i forgot it’s beyond she’s “too good” to give anyone a second of her time without being paid first.

ummmm she did stop at the beginning for a few pics. How many do they need?

+5 Jadeen Reply:May 3rd, 2011 at 11:46 am

There was a whole row of photographers right there that’s why the steps stopped in front of those photographers who booed her so she could stop it doesn’t take that long to snap a pic especially when she stopped right there in front of them for the longest. How much you wanna bet she paid a ton of money for that dress but didn’t even stop for just a minute. If she were appreciative she would have stopped right there how are they suppose to take a picture of her when she is down the stairs no where near their view?

How much do you wanna bet she got the dress for FREE?

+2 HoneyChild Reply:May 3rd, 2011 at 3:35 pm

@VOGUE ~ EXACTLY! She didn’t pay for that dress. That dress was given to her to wear. She didn’t pay one red cent for that dress!

+1 Dominique Reply:May 3rd, 2011 at 10:20 pm

I don’t get it. Beyonce is being unappreciative of her fame for not stopping for the paps?? The paps are overly aggressive because they get paid for the pictures they take. They are booing, because she is messing with their money. It isn’t like she was dissing fans…

I cant say... Reply:May 4th, 2011 at 8:25 pm

I guess we all have a job to do but to see grown men screamin, begging and pleading for another grown man to please stop and let him take a pic. There was one man’s voice on there that was bone chilling and he was shrieking “JAAAAAAYZZ PLEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!”. I mean I would hate to hate that job- it takes someone with a total loss of pride to do that job without feeling low/ shallow, I dont care what the salary is…

What gets me is that it’s actually a BLACK photographer who is booing her loudly. The white ones are just laughing… Black people are wolves for black people, I’m telling you.

Anywho it’s no big deal, things happen. It’s the Met Gala, it’s okay to go complex there. The more the outfit is intricate, the more people talk about it, the more the outfit gets the hype. You guys remember Naomi Campbell and those Vivienne Westwood shoes?

They were all good when they first walked in the door and stopped for pics. They were so lound though, yelling and all that’s just crazy. I loved how Jay then stepped back and let his woman shine and let them all go crazy then quickly went back to her side. I also thought it was cute when he helped her up the steps. Can you imagine if he had picked her up, how crazy they would have started acting. I love how she’s always so poised and just so classy. She’s def glowing. I do however have a question, what’s going on with her promo etc. I’ve never seen her drop a single and not say A WORD. I’m sure it will all pan out in the end but still. Nonetheless, love them…….

And shit, you cant please everyone

Yes she did look great and YES we can laugh at the fact that she got booed cuz it was funny. It made no sense to boo them but it was funny.

Someone please stamp this chick’s Frequent Hater Card. I’m sure it’s almost full.
I’m starting to think most chick’s hate Beyonce because she represents all the things they wish they were (to an extent).

Why is that whenever somebody doesn’t like beyonce
u people claim that she is jealous of her???
or she wishes to be her???

No the truth is that u people(stans) are stuck up in her
ass because she is everything u wish to be but u are not!!!

Because most of us so called haters we look far better
than her!!
Every woman ( well not every but most) will look
stunning with lot of make-up, big wigs, glamourous
clothes and stiletto heels

While most of u stans are just fat ghetto bitches…

I mean have u ever seen beyonce’s concerts???
Well check the audience!!!
Most of her fans are not really the definition of beauty.

Anyway I don’t understand why she got booed!?!

I mean she could barely walk in that dress and I’m sure
she was feeling kind of embarrassed that why she wanted
to just walk away as fast as possible!!!

There’s a difference btwn not liking someone & being extremely negative abt them. I’m not a stan for Beyonce but what irks me the most are the people who claim they hate stans of Beyonce & don’t like Beyonce but they are more obsessed with the girl themselves. To the contrary the haters are the one’s jealous of the girl. The girl had no reason to call Beyonce a peasant but she did it probably to get someone like you and stans to say something back. FYI Beyonce may wear wigs, heels, & makeup but she is far from ugly with out. Anyway…

+3 Dominique Reply:May 3rd, 2011 at 10:40 pm

Stans aren’t stans because they are in love with someone’s look; they are in love with the artist’s craft. There are beautiful women everywhere, but that doesn’t mean they will have a following like Beyonce.

I’d also like to understand why you feel so inclined to insult groups of people (Bey’s concert audience and her stans). You may feel like you know what the “definition of beauty” is, but at the end of the day, you are still a mean person with a very nasty mouth.

An angry black photographer on the steps started booing them because she didn’t stop long enough for him to get the perfect picture. If he was great at what he does he would have got the shot no matter what – a shot early on, an action shot or even a shot when she did pause on the steps.

How do you know it was the black photographer and not the other photographers behind him? Either way, we heard more than one boo and other photographers felt the same way. These stars dress up in the gowns to be photographed and if the paps can’t photograph the gown without Jay-z and her assistant in the way then it’s pointless

They were booed by the media for not wanting to take a lot of pictures wtf! Beyonce looked amazing!! Her body is always stunning in and out of a dress. But like nicole said “how dare they boo the queen” if it was just jay ooh well. But Bee looked better than most especially Rihanna idk wth her stylist was thinking

Are these grown adults being this stupid? I think that is disrespectful was it stupid for her to where a dress she couldn’t walk in yes but that is no reason to boo her atleast she tried taking some pics.

Beyesterday’s dress reminds me of an episode of BH 90210; Donna wore a tight ass dress to the prom and could barely move – had to be helped into and out of the car and to the table and couldnt move for the rest of the evening – BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Her “stylist’ who probably fit her for the dress should be fired for allowing that!

Yes that’s how you know you the sh*t when mofos STAY MAD for NO reason. She be killing it and [broke] chicks and some men can’t stand it. I admire any young black woman (including Ri) who does the damn thing in this entertainment biz. Do people realize how long it took us to get to this point. We can now sell out shows in ARENAS all over the world. Be LOVED and respected by all races. And yet people sit here and attempt to tear her down with stupid lil sh*t. Let the girl LIVE. Stop looking for SIMPLE ish to be mad at. “she wear the same hairstyle all the time”, “oooh she can’t dress”, “why she always wearing hills?”. GEESH find a LIFE and something to do. If some of yall would make only half of what she has no one would be able to tell yall ish either. You would do what the freak you want cuz it’s YOUR money. I urge anyone who has a problem with ANY star to go out and do something constructive make some chips of your own and I promise you, you wouldn’t give two cents about the ish they do. The problem is you want what they have, and you can’t or won’t get up to achieve your own success, so you stay on the blogs mad at the chick that’s doing her thing.

Oh well I know i’m preaching to the choir but hopefully someone will read this and understand and STOP with the tearing down of the FEW black women who are on top of their game. Go Beyonce. Go Rihanna. Go MJB. Go Nicki M (even tho i’m no fan of Nicki but she’s on top right now. Go ANY young blck woman doing the do. Continue to sh*t on these hating a** h*es and keep em mad, cuz that’s how you know you made it. And I’m done. Break is almost over, got to get to the nest post.

Right, I like Bey. But she is boring as he!!. This is nothing new. She wears the same style dress ALL THE TIME. Like dang, she needs to step out of her comfort zone. Thats why she will never be best dress. Its like oh she wore that at the oscars it was just all tan, or the grammys. Same damn dress. She got to much money for her style to be horrible. J.hud look great. But where is my girl Kimora she would have be shittin on them. Everybody looked so so. Christina Ricci was prob. the best.

I could not imagine living the life of a celebrity. Give me the money, f*** the fame. I mean this is just one instance of the chaos that is their lives. I mean everywhere she goes, paparazzi or press is there snapping pictures and yelling her name. And then when paps don’t get what they want they resort to booing. Just as fast as you rise you can fall. EVERYTHING celebs, especially major ones like Beyonce, do is under scrutiny. Who wants that life? That’s why it blows my mind when you have these talentless imbeciles who go on reality TV for the fame. *rolls eyes* This ain’t what you want boo. SN: Although it was mad immature them booing Beyonce, it was funny. Shows that “the Queen” (I wish y’all stop calling her that) is not above people responding to her the same way they would a stranger on the street.

@LDN80’S it DEFINITEY SOUND LIKE IT CAME FROM 1 OR 2 PEOPLE IT WAS NOT THAT DEEP IM SURE U PROBABLY HAD TO WATCH THE VIDEO TO HEAR THE BOOS BECASUE IF U WERE THERE U PROBABLY COULD HEAR NOTHING BUT THE PAPARAZZI CALLING THEIR NAMES….UGH PEOPLE CAN BE A BIT EXTRA!!!!

Anything for fashion eh bey?(heavily laced with sarcasm). When.your knees are the size of softballs, your back needs a stick to hold you upright, and you have serious hammertime, at least you can say ” I looked good!” S/N: jay you really gonna go to a blacktie gala with that peas-y ass head?!damn you at least could have got a shapeup

Bey can do whatever she damn well pleases to do! The press is not entitled to shit. Everybody’s acting like they haven’t ever worn something uncomfortable and have been struggling. You live and you learn.

That dress is a fishtail cutout at the boobs dress, i.e. every dress she always wears on the red carpet. Why would u ever wear a dress you can’t walk up the steps in. She knows there are steps at the met. Bad planning B.

i saw a comment about the black photographer being the one booing her, usually i never comment on here, but THAT comment was completely ridiculous. people are so quick to try call ‘black on black’ hate. the dude is trying to do his job and whateverhernameis didn’t stop for pictures. hell, i would be pissed off too. i feel like if she didn’t want to go all the way & take pictures, then she should have kept her ass at home. this is just another instance of beyonce & jay-z thinking that they are above everyone. last time i checked, she was sitting at the bottom of the charts….

Dummy….did you actually watch the video clip? Do that first before you comment. She did stop for pics, she turned around & posed on 2 different sides. Plus she took pics with hr husband! It’s the fact that she didn’t stay out there all night that they started booing her. Obviously, she is a big star so they wanted more pics of her that they couldn’t get.

As many damn pics as they are paid to take. These events are for those moments. Most bitch because the paps are always around and I can understand that when you are on your private time. But when you take yo azz to an event it’s your job to stand and take photos until your fu$k8ng feet fall off. That’s why none of you chicken heads will ever get anywhere you have no sense of duty. Keep flipping burgers.

DragonFlyyJones Reply:May 3rd, 2011 at 11:46 am

If “Whateverhernameis” didn’t stop for pictures, why are we looking at half a dozen of them under this post? If he was a PROFESSIONAL he would’ve made it happen just like the photographers that got good shots made it happen. She doesn’t work for him. He should’ve just kicked himself for not taken the pictures sooner and moved on to the next person.

Hmmm, the paps get paid for those pics. The paps take the pics, and news or blog outlets pay to post those pics or publish them in magazines. So you can understand why they would be upset. It’s not like the first group of paps are going to share their pics with the other groups that didn’t. It’s a competition amongst them. The booing was uncalled for, but it is what it is. They lost money.

LMAO! IDGAF THAT WAS FUNNY! & IF IT HAD BEEN RIHANNA YOU BISHES WOULDN’T BE ALL SYMPATHETIC. YOU WOULD’VE SAID WHAT A DUMBASS SHE IS FOR WEARING THAT DRESS & WHAT A B!TCH SHE WAS FOR NOT STOPPING AGAIN…BUT WHEN IT’S THIS TRICK ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GOTTA KISS HER ASS. FOH! THE PAPS DON’T GIVE A FLYING F*CK HOW MANY GRAMMYS SHE HAS. THOSE PICS ARE THEIR BREAD & BUTTER. THE MEDIA CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOU. IMAGINE IF THE MEDIA DECIDED TO BOYCOTT BEYAKI & DIDN’T PROMO HER AT ALL. YEAH SHE GOES RUNNING TO THEM WHEN SHE NEEDS TO SELL SOMETHING BUT CAN’T STAND THERE FOR 2 SECONDS. WHAT A SELFISH B!TCH! PLUS HER STYLE IS WACK. SAME MERMAID DRESSES FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS! YUCK! LATE AS HELL AS USUAL!

Ok, Guys with all the negative coments, it’s not that serious, the dress was gorgeous remember what your momma always says, if you can’t say something nice about someone then don’t say anything at all. she looks beautiful

Now, I’m not conspiracy theorist but I know that I’m not the only one who saw that big ass GOAT on the front of her dress. I hate feeding into these types of things but what are we as the public suppose to assume when you are walking basically shoving the devil down our throats. Its funny how I never hear her mention God anymore either…..wow.

you know why Beyonce is having all of this bad Karma? because of her evil a** followers, they are worshipping her like she is some sort of God and can do no wrong and they are vicious and mean spirited to everyone else so all of that bad vibe going out into the universe in her name is coming back on her, that is why everything that she touches these days is a wreck and will continue to be until you people start acting like civilized individuals instead of rabid animals. Blame yourselves for her downturn.

You know what? I am a fan of her but what you said makes sooooooooooo much sense. I understand supporting your fave artist and thats all well and good, but when you start a WW3 on the net bcus someone simply says they don’t like a song or dress??? #toomuch Between Beiber, Rihanna, Bey and Gaga fans, I can tell they make other celebs(or anyone else for that matter) nervous to say even the most normal things about them. SMDH

Beyonce truly isn’t the problem in my eyes because I can take her or leave her, but those
“stans?” that’s another story smh. and contrary to popular belief being a stan is not something to
be proud of.

THE DRESS WAS MADE TO BE FORM FITTING AND TIGHT…SHE GOING TO A GALA TO HONOR THE LATE GREAT ALEXANDER MCQUEEN…SO WHY NOT WEAR ONE OF HIS OVER THE TOP DRESSES…FOR PPL TO MAKE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT IT OR HER (EVEN TO BOO) IS TO BEING VERY DISREPECTFUL PPL NEED TO GROW THE HELL UP!!

But besides the fact why would you wear a dress that you can’t walk in? A lot of you are saying that its beautiful b/c its on her but if you saw a regular woman at an event and she was wearing that same dress and she couldn’t walk up the steps all of you would talk about her like a dog. Shame how we change our perception when its a celebrity. SMH.

Don’t these paps realize that they will not get a reation, out of a star, when they boo unless they are on that Charlie Sheen ish!!?!?!? I mean really, these clebs know that YOU are making money off of THEIR pics so they could give two damns about you booing. What has the world come two when this ish is worthy of a YouTube video? SMDH @ these paps #buildabridge.com

SN: Usually it’s the grungy cig smoking dirty looking white paps that be doing the most! It was not that serious.

To me the reporters that started booing behaved childishly; Bey… should have known better to wear something that beautiful; that deadly. Also I think she was set up by the dress designer or it’s members and the media.Prolly wanted a repeat of her stair way to heaven. Bey baby,cut it out.

L-M-A-O She needs to be booed after releasing that horrible song. What the F is going on with her hair in the back? Also Solange looked better than her and Rihanna IMO. She should have worn McQueen his display at Bergdorf’s is sickening lmao at other “bloggers” acting like she looked like Halle at the Golden Globes. That dress is ugly I swear some people ride Beyonce like a roller coaster. smdh.

Jay probably told her dumber then a rock ass not to wear that dress, but the bitch had to be hard headed! She looks like a damn fool,you’d thought maybe she twisted her ankle or some shit.She was hot alright….A hot ass mess!! You’re Beyonce BITCH with fans(not I) worldwide this attention shit is so unecessary!!!!

Now that I look at the dress again, I don’t think it was the dress that was too tight (although it was form fitting) I think it was the girdle up under it that was. But the question remains how did she sit down?????

That dress was so ugly to me. I didnt think of it as couture as what I think is what its suppose to be. She shoulda wore that mess on cinco de mayo cause thats where it seems like it belongs. I mean she also could barely move in the thing. Need help up the stairs and all. Alot of people wore more comfortable dresses that looked wayy better. But the worse dress of the night was NAOMI. OMG, I hate to say that because it is an Alexander McQueen but I like to keep it real and I dont have to like everything from an artist even if I may love just about all his pieces

Looks like the tables have turned cause it seems like Kelly is finally getting the attention she deserves, and beyonces new song Girls isn’t good at all and Kelly’s Motivation is a Hit single, and people really forget how overrated B is i mean there are certain countries she is actually band from becuase her performance is to slutty I do think that the booing was unnecessary but people 4get outside of the states and Europe Beyonce is really not that popular I hope her next single is better or else Kelly is going to slam her on the charts.

Did you notice the design on the dress? Look closer…It’s a rams headwith it’s horns reaching up to her arm pits. Its a brain washing technique. Your so focused on her beauty but your sub-conscience is picking up on the devils symbol on her dress. Look at the dress again and think about it.

Her name is not only recognized worldwide, it turns celebrities into fans and the media into her best friend. Beyonce Giselle Knowles is a name that represents the cream of the crop, so why do so many sisters choose to hate on her?

Wasn’t it Beyonce, a Black woman, who recently became the only pop artist to break the top 10 of Forbes list of Hollywood’s 20 Highest Earning of 2010? You can’t forget that last month her “I Am…World Tour” DVD went double-platinum in a year when even the most popular artists’ albums weren’t going gold… the same woman who made 2011’s Guinness Book of World Records, along with her husband, for “Highest-Earning Couple.”

In February she set another record when she swept the Grammys with a total of six awards, and in the same month entered the luxury goods industry selling $3 million dollars worth of her fragrance “Heat.”

Without sounding like a stan (stalker+fan), I could go on. For the past 15 years, Beyonce has perfected and mastered her craft. This is why I’m baffled that so many women, Black women included, (judging by comments on Twitter, Facebook and even on Essence.com) find joy firing off the most snide remarks at anything even remotely related to the singer. Since her debut solo album, some of us “sisters” have made hating on Beyonce a favorite cultural pastime. Everything from “she’s overrated,” to “if she gets any lighter she’s gonna fade away,” to “a day doesn’t go by without Essence talking about Beyonce.”

So, here I am, reporting about Beyonce again, because not acknowledging Beyonce as an undeniable cultural force is absurd. At this point there aren’t any valid arguments to support the belief that she isn’t. How long will people hold a grudge against this woman because she left Destiny’s Child… five years ago? Before complaining about Beyonce “disowning” her group, ask yourself when was the last time you (legally) downloaded a Kelly Rowland song, or bought a Michelle Williams album? Some say she’s overrated and everywhere, but that’s what happens when you work your ambitious ass off and are always striving for more.

If it were left up to some Black female commentators, Beyonce — or as she’s not-so-affectionately referred to, “Stankyonce” — would be considered talentless. Some complaints include the usual, “she can’t act or sing, she’s phony and way too sexy, she’s not classy enough.” Hate, hate, and more hate. Stop it. The commentary has become so passionately angry, you’d think Beyonce did something personal to some of these women.

You can call her every name in the book when she’s shaking it and showing it all over the stage, but Beyonce is paid to entertain, and that she does, very well. My theory is that confident women love and support other confident women, and those who lack confidence — hate.

Beyonce represents Black women working hard to achieve success and reach their goals. She’s a bad mama jama who has conquered the music business with an untainted image. Making her own ends meet without opening her legs for anyone besides her very accomplished husband. She floats through both White and Black media oozing sexy, juxtaposed by her own grace and humility. Some women just don’t know what to do with Bey but envy, because looking at her reminds us of our own insecurities. Beyonce has torn down stereotypes, set new standards, and through it all, redefined what a Black woman can be.

Before your comments get misconstrued as hate or negativity, remember what we’ve all been taught – if you don’t have anything good to say…..

@Anon ..EXCELLENT POST! Omg that was so beautiful. And, she even went back to help her girls several times. Kelly said when she calls and asks Bey for help & her opinion, Bey has always been there for her. Their family pastor in Texas said the same thing about her when he calls her.
I dont care what anyone says. That is one special humble human being ..very special

What I love most about Beyonce is her spirit of giving. She is constantly giving to those less fortunate than her, whether it’s donating her Cadillac Records salary to a home for recovering female drug addicts, or encouraging fans who attend her I Am… Tour to donate canned foods. Beyonce has been blessed with a lot and she seems more than willing to give her time, energy, talent, money, and heart to a friend, a fan, and even a stranger. That’s the best quality.
